I have my pipes wrapped too! I'm into this bike 1.5 years and 20K miles. That being said, it's apparent I hammer down the road a fair piece. When contemplating this bike purchase, i did not believe heat would really be an issue. I thought it was just the boulevard cruising, bar hopping, sandal wearing crowd that was getting hot.
Yesterday it was 94 degrees here. With wrapped pipes, Cobra slip-ons, frame mount heat deflectors and a fuel controller, my inner forearms, chest and boots felt like I was in front of a hanging shop furnace. This setup works up to about 85 degrees. After that you cook. And I am speaking of highway speeds of 65-80 mph.
Can anyone with the big 3 honestly say that they don't experience the same thing.
BOTH HEAT AND SOUND ARE SO SUBJECTIVE FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.
